However, your reference to "liberal science" is a bit bizarre and not obviously related to the original post. Especially since witchcraft and evolution denial are both superstition that is easily refuted by evidence.

There are people who willfully ignorant. These are the so called young earthers.

Many of the people you speak about are misguided or pushing an agenda that benefits them.

And many of the people who follow them are ignorant of the facts or perhaps even the facts are still not known.

The things you point out are a very different situation than the so called young earthers. These are true believers who wake up every morning and have to ignore things every day to blindly believe in what they believe.

Walking on a riverbed and seeing a fossil.

Seeing the grand canyon.

Reading anything in the press that has anything to do with science/religion/history even peripherally.

Watching a movie.

Hell, whenever any period in history is mentioned that goes back more than 6000 year, you have to ignore it. How many times to you hear about light years away and how mnay light years away such and such thing is? If that thing happened at a distance of more than 6000 light years, well they are hosed.

Any sort of dinosaur outside of cartoons often mentions age. Whenever something is dated with a radioisotope, bam, can't believe in that.

When you hear of about an animal that is a relative from such and such, well that can't be. Because God just made them that way.

Seriously?

Day to day these people ignore so much stuff it baffles the mind.

Think about it. You have to believe that the world poofed into existence 6k years ago. It is a staggering amount of information that you have to ignore.

Jurasic Park? Well heck, those dinosaurs lived with humans and were around until a few thousand years ago.
